Policy Brief: Crossing the last mile in climate services: Putting policies into action

This policy brief shares findings from research in four aligned European funded projects that establish a new paradigm in climate services. This is founded in a human centric approach and recognises the social and behavioural preferences of users and that decisions and actions are rooted in local contexts and knowledges. In this brief we outline four recommendations to policy to bridge the gap between climate services provision and climate service use; the last mile of climate service delivery. 

The four projects contributing to this policy brief have received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement numbers: 101036458 (LOCALISED), 101036599 (ReachOut), 101037104 (RethinkAction), 101037293 (I-CISK). The development of this policy brief was coordinated and produced by the I-CISK project, in close collaboration with the other projects.
